I have watched the game this morning, I think to be fair there were some poor decisions but to say it was a biased performance is as stated before in this thread is doing Rovers a great disservice, sadly the standard or officiating in this country is miles behind that of the NRL, does anyone else think we should follow the 2 referee option as in the NRL, this I think has sped up the game no end down there.

I've mentioned this previously and in theory it's a brilliant idea. but we don't have enough competent ref's as it is, let alone having 2 per match. Can you imagine someone like Ganson wanting to share the spot light?

The standard of refereeing is getting very tedious now, and it is a shame that every week a lot of teams are feeling hard done by. Ref's are not being consistent at all, they are letting things go at some points in matches then deciding to penalise the exact same thing later on when they feel fit and vice versa. and it is this hap hazard approach that is causing so much anger. There is an argument that the game would suffer if penalty's are constantly blown. take a look at the final quarter in the wire match yesterday for example... . But, if the rules are being broken then it need's clamping down on and penalising. It seem's now that teams are constantly pushing the boundaries knowing that referee's won't constantly blow the whistle for fear of being slated for giving too many penalties away. When the ref's do decide to clamp down on all the messing around. You get what we saw yesterday where Warrington got hammered. The ref spent 60 minutes "letting it go" then all of a sudden decided to start clamping down.

Straight from Eden Park to Big fellas .A bit miffed perhaps Mr S

Fev play that pitch and the ref very well every week.

Just watched it back. He can barely contain his smile when he is giving the Raynor try. It was the most bent refereeing performace I have ever seen.

I was watching at home and part of me felt like I almost wanted Featherstone to win the commentary and refereeing was so biased

Said that at the time.
It was quite unbelievable that look on his face. Doing his bloody upmost to not smirk

Another bad performance in a poor season for the officials.

He was useless for both sides, again...

That is a very strange comment indeed

What a bunch of complete asswipes, you already have the advantage of 1.3 million off sky to our 100k, your allowed 5 foreigners to our 1, now you want us to play 1 arm behind our backs to make sure you win. even your stupid coach blamed the ref for the slow play the balls when it was your pathetic half backs that allowed ours to dictate the pace. the ref had no bearing on that result, So sorry we didnt just lie down and let you run 70 in

don't beat around the bush, just say what you think!

Go back to your own board now to talk about Batley or whoever your playin this week... you've had your 5 minutes of fame.

you too could have had £1.3m if you had taken the decision 2-3 years ago to improve your ground and your playing staff and applied and been accepted in SL in the last round of franchises. Don't blame others for playing by the rules in place if your club/owner didn't want to go down that route at the time.

Quite right, it's only fair that the referee should help you out when you're playing the bigger boys.

And this from a guy who thought it only fair that we should be denied the right to play our full strength team in order to even things up! (Just like Fev did in the previous round - NOT).

At the end of they day - we KNOW how you managed to get all those points in that match, pal. We saw it with our own eyes. And all the 'spin' in the world from idiots like Brian Carney won't change that. As you know perfectly well.

God help the regular posters on the Fev message board, if they have to put up with your self-indulgent nonsense all year. At least we only see you once in a blue moon.

Hmmm. I'm now wondering whether you are really a Cas fan sending up Fev fans?



I think we've been had guys.



No-one, even from Featherstone, could be THIS stupid.

Could they?

Was that before he broke his leg ? Whoops sorry wrong game ?

Perhaps the most laughable and ludicrous thread I've ever read.Quite why some of you experts don't become referees is beyond me.

Takes an expert to spot a knock-on and a two-man steal. Who did you say was ludicrous and laughable again?
